<p>EVP_PKEY_todata, EVP_PKEY_export - functions to return keys as an array of key parameters</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/evp.h&gt;

int EVP_PKEY_todata(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int selection, OSSL_PARAM **params);
int EVP_PKEY_export(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int selection,
                    OSSL_CALLBACK *export_cb, void *export_cbarg);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>The functions described here are used to extract <b>EVP_PKEY</b> key values as an array of <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM.html">OSSL_PARAM(3)</a>.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_todata() extracts values from a key <i>pkey</i> using the <i>selection</i>. <i>selection</i> is described in <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_fromdata.html">&quot;Selections&quot; in EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)</a>. <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM_free.html">OSSL_PARAM_free(3)</a> should be used to free the returned parameters in <i>*params</i>.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_export() is similar to EVP_PKEY_todata() but uses a callback <i>export_cb</i> that gets passed the value of <i>export_cbarg</i>. See <a href="../man7/openssl-core.h.html">openssl-core.h(7)</a> for more information about the callback. Note that the <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM.html">OSSL_PARAM(3)</a> array that is passed to the callback is not persistent after the callback returns. The user must preserve the items of interest, or use EVP_PKEY_todata() if persistence is required.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>These functions only work with key management methods coming from a provider. This is the mirror function to <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_fromdata.html">EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>EVP_PKEY_todata() and EVP_PKEY_export() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>
